Picture yourself living in a mere 12-square meter home. It sounds impossible. It's too small. If you think about it carefully, it's not so much a problem of size but how things are managed inside. Now you're about to discover that small sizes can make a big difference just take a look at these four houses!

1. Small wooden house

At 12 square meters, this tiny American home has got pretty much all the basic facilities you'll be needing: a working corner, a bedroom, and a kitchen! Other than those, the house is also made out of beautiful and natural wood which is definitely crucial these days of growing environmental concerns in the use of construction materials.

The interior features an impeccable wooden handiwork which makes you second guess if this was really inside that same tiny house from before. But yes, they are one and the same. Note the many compartments and shelves in this area.

2. Castle on a truck

Transforming Castle Truck

If you're a Harry Potter fan, this might be worth considering. In New Zealand, a mobile home fashions a castle-like facade of towers and rustic surface details. With the help of sturdy wood, it becomes an iconic, quirky yet definitely creative residence-one which kids and even the kids-at-heart would enjoy.

3. Surprisingly sleek and spacious
